U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-TX) released the following statement celebrating National Adoption Day which is Saturday, Nov. 23, 2013:

“Anyone who is adopted or has adopted children themselves will tell you what a remarkable blessing it is. Thanks to adoption, we have a family — and my wife and I have the privilege of being called Dad and Mom by our two sons. I am forever grateful for the two women who chose life, chose adoption and entrusted these two precious babies to our safe keeping.

“I strongly encourage couples to explore adoption. Today, more than 100,000 children and youth in America’s foster care system are waiting for families. The Saturday before Thanksgiving is designated National Adoption Day so that we can help bring attention to these kids who need a home and to the joys of adoption. You’ll begin a rewarding journey that could change a child’s life forever, while enriching your own.”
